A few weekends ago, I had the pleasure of making this wonderfully tall wedding cake. The wedding was held at the wonderful setting of Canoe which is on the 54th floor overlooking Toronto.

The cake tiers were double-tall cake tiers - strawberry vanilla cake with strawberry buttercream on the top two tiers and chocolate sour cream with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream on the bottom tier.

This avocado green cake design was inspired by one of my favorite cake artists, Rich Reichart, from Cakelava in Hawaii. I was lucky enough to take his first ever class back in March - see blog post.

In May, I posted some baby shower cakes and announced my own baby news. What comes next? A baby shower sweet table for ME!

2 weeks ago, my mom and sister threw me a backyard baby shower and I had the pleasure to make the dessert table for my family and friends. My sister, Yvonne, (who has a very creative blog called choo cha handmade that you have to check out!!) gave me this pinwheel design as inspiration.

One last thing... a lovely SURPRISE... our baby decided to arrive 3 weeks early. So, 10 days ago, a healthy little 6lb girl named Sidney entered our lives. We feel so lucky and it has been an amazing experience so far. More next Tuesday - have a nice week!

What a fabulous weekend we had! What did you enjoy on your Canadian July 1st weekend or US July 4th weekend?

Hopefully wherever you are, you enjoyed it with family and friends. Maybe even over a barbecue -- with hamburgers and hotdogs? How about this hot dog - it's a very big cake! Vanilla butter cake with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream.

Here's a couple more views of the cake - it was so fun to make!

Have a nice week everyone! I'll be back next Tuesday with a post with a very special dessert table.
